IN -MEMORY OF M; KIN LEY.
OREGON'S ERA OF GOOD
FEELING.
Buch information bb comes to
The Oregonian concerning tbe
right of way for the dalles canal is
in every respect reassuring. The
prompt action of the state board
is to be heartily commended, and
indications point to tbe manifesta
tion of public spirited co-operation
on the part of owners from whom
the right of way is to be secured.
The readiness with which the
legislature passed this canal bill
and the subsequent developments
under it are all eloquent of a spirit
of enterprise and local pride which
tbe State of Oregon is enjoying for
the first time in many years, we
had almost said for the first time
in its history. It is not too much to
claim for the Lewis and Clark
Centennial that it did a great deal
in waking us up.
Tt in fortunate that the state
board has to deal in this matter j
with broad-gauge men like Seufert,
Taffe, Michell, Everding and Far
rell, who understand and sympa
thize with the value to themselves
as well as to the state at large of
an open river; and it is especially
fortunate that the O. R. & N. is at
this time controlled by so far
sighted and broad-minded a man
as E. H. Harriman, who looks be
yond the petty possibilities of a
day to the grander results of future
time. With Governor Chamber
lain and Major Langfitt the nego
tiations are in good hands; and
The Oregonian is moved to con-
vrrhe Carnation League of
America," an orgnnization to per
petuate the memory of President
McKinley, requests all ins ad
mirers "to wear the late president's
ilower, the carnation, in the lapel
of the coat, in the hair, or at the
throat, in silent memory of a de
parted public servant." President
McKiuley's birthday, January 20,
is the date selected for this me
morial observance.
While the suggestion will be
followed by many admirers of
President McKinley in all sections
of the Union, it is doubtful if the
league will succeed in its efi'ort to
make of tbis graceful tribute a
perpetual custom. In the long
run nations reserve thet-e enduring
honors for a lew of their greatest
historical figures men like Wash
ington and Lincoln in the United
States, Peter the Great in Russia,
Xapoleon in France, Frederick the
(Ireat and Bismarck in Germany,
King Arthur and Cromwell in
England, St. Patrick in Ireland,
Garibaldi in Italy, or Confucius
in China. President McKinley 's
memory will be quietly honored
for many years by a host of his
fellow countrymen. He was a
great man, but it was not reserved
for him to tread the sublime
heights of glory. As son, husband,
6oldier and statesman he com
manded respect and admiration,
but his public career was not dis
tinctly associated with any stupen
dous national crisis.
Nevertheless, the suggestion of
the "Carnation league" is deserv
ing of wide-spread adoption among
